| Description of the problem | Previously (days after purchase) mercedes benz sprinter 2500 lo-top with rear roof-mounted high powered a/c started dripping from the grill in the headliner during dry weather. Also, the headliner had a water spot. This was repaired with a relay to fix a known vacuum pressure issue with the a/c. This time, water poured (not dripped) in from the grill again, after parking on a slight incline and pulling away from the curb during a rain. |
